This was my first time traveling solo and also my first time visiting Chicago. Apart from knowing that there are a few landmarks I wanted to hit, I had no itinerary planned. It was miserably cold but I truly appreciated the time I spent exploring around the city of Chicago, taking in the architecture, culture, local foods, and interacting with the good people of Chicago. This trip has got me excited to plan more solo trips to new and exciting places.
